A consumer-electronics group → Scope 3 + DPP, two scenarios on one data set
With tens of thousands of SKUs, the group must both compute Scope 3 value-chain emissions and prepare product-level passports for DPP-ESPR. Carbon-Link collected supplier data once to power both disclosure and passport scenarios.
This case is fully anonymised and refers to no specific customer.

- Customer
- A consumer-electronics group (tens of thousands of SKUs, global shipments, heavy outsourced supply chain)
The group has a vast, fast-iterating SKU base and heavily outsourced manufacturing. On one hand, customers and regulators require Scope 3 value-chain disclosure (the large majority of total emissions); on the other, electronics fall under DPP-ESPR and the Battery Regulation, needing digital passports. Both scenarios depend on the same upstream suppliers’ product-level data, yet the customer used to request data on two separate tracks — “carbon inventory” and “product compliance” — causing duplicate reporting and clashing definitions.
The challenge
Under the twin pressure of compliance and cost, these were the core problems.
Scope 3 and DPP requests went to suppliers separately — duplicate reporting, clashing definitions, low supplier engagement.
Tens of thousands of SKUs can’t be computed one by one; master data plus a factor library are needed for scale.
Value-chain emission-data quality is uneven, hard to meet verifiable disclosure requirements.
The AMT approach
From the data foundation to compliant delivery — phased, end to end.
- 1Collect supplier data once
Carbon-Link collects suppliers’ product-level emissions and material data once; Scope 3 and DPP share the same source.
- 2Scale Scope 3 accounting
PCF plus the data platform combine master data and a factor library for tiered-precision value-chain accounting across SKUs.
- 3Batch-generate DPPs
Reuse product master data to batch-generate Digital Product Passports, exposed by regulator / consumer tier.
- 4Tiered data-quality governance
Grade supplier data by quality and drive improvement, raising the verifiability of both disclosure and passports.
Outcomes
Beyond compliance — quantifiable savings and efficiency.
All figures are anonymised and shown as indicative ranges; they do not refer to any specific customer.
“Our biggest fear was asking suppliers for data once for disclosure and again for product passports. Collect once, reuse for two scenarios — that’s the single biggest value of this solution for us.”
